Want to know why your coffee tastes bitter, flat, stale?

The freshness of your beans is the key to enjoying an excellent cup of coffee every time.
Supermarket stocked beans are generally stale by the time you grind them whatever their marketing department may say.
The problem with getting hold of fresh roasted beans is that they are expensive.
One of the market leaders in fresh bean subscriptions charges £7 for a 250g bag of roasted beans!!!!!
The cost of those beans raw? More like £2!

As paid up members of the coffee geek club we knew there must be a better way. We wanted to buy fresh green beans and roast them at home, keeping our coffee habit cheap but having fun along the way experimenting and taking our coffee connoisseurship to the next level.
But guess what, coffee roasting machines turn out to be insanely expensive, or just plain rubbish (trust us we have tested LOTS!)

This is where Home Roast was born. We have worked with our partner in china to bring the Home Roast smart to market.
Our aim was simple; an affordable and quality home roasting machine that will enable coffee lovers to roast their own green beans and take their coffee connoisseurship to the next level, just like we dreamt of.
We are now enjoying fresh, smooth, not bitter shots of espresso and have fallen in love with coffee more than ever before.

After months of work with our supplier we have now have a unit in the UK and an order in place for 200 more. We have developed an app to make roasting coffee as simple as making your morning toast, but also allowing you to develop and explore your own roasting style and preferences.

Pending a successful Kickstarter campaign, we are currently aiming to have devices delivered to you by April 2018.
